This prize is awarded by the Centre National de La Cinématographie (C.N.C), Mac’Tari, Titra Films, the International Confederation of Art Cinemas (CICAE) and Europa Distribution. The CICAE was represented by Emilia Skiba, KINO.LAB in Warsaw- Poland.

Synopsis Gabino lives with his mother Teresa, who adores Gabino’s eldest brother, Miguel, who never visits them. Their grandmother dies, alone, and they will discover it just two weeks later…
For Emilia Skiba , “Perpetuum Mobile gives a new vision on the theme of family disintegration, where members live close to each others but not really together. This is a film which avoids the stereotypes, because of its sense of humour, sometimes ironic but never rough”.
The director Nicolás Pereda’s first film, ¿Dónde están sus historias?, has won the Best Film Award of the International Film Festival of Morella (Mexico, 2007) and the Discover Award of the Critique Française de Cinéma during the Rencontres Cinémas d’Amérique Latine of Toulouse (2008). In 2008 he also directed Entrevista con la tierra, a 18 minutes documentary, and Juntos, selected at Cinéma en Construction 13. Perpetuum Mobile is his third film.
